President Moon Jae-in Addresses the 2021 OGP Global Summit
Watch His Excellency Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea welcome participants to the 2021 OGP Global Summit.
Current Action Plan
2023-2027

Given that this is the Republic of Korea’s first four-year plan, the government could consider revising the action plan to strengthen the commitments’ ambition and relevance to open government.

Third Graders Pitch In On What’s Pitched Out
When millions gathered in Gwanghwamun Square in the Republic of Korea to protest the previous administration, President Moon invited citizens back to the square to propose policies that responded to their needs. Many proposals have become policies - one of them came from third graders in Jeju.

Selected Dimensions of Open Government
This section captures how each OGP member can play a leadership role, based on IRM-based findings and third-party scores. This list does not cover all of open government and OGP members are not required to take any action.
Action implications
These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.
IRM-based findings
Reflect the performance of commitments in a particular policy area, as assessed by the IRM.
(NC) No Commitments
(CA) Commitment(s) in the policy area.
(IR) IRM-Reviewed: At least one IRM-assessed commitment.
(C) Was Complete: At least one commitment was substantially or fully completed.
(A) Was Ambitious: At least one commitment with moderate or transformative potential impact.
(ER) Showed Early Results: At least one commitment opened government in a “Major” or “Outstanding” way.
